AlphaXiv Paper Lookup
Look up any arxiv paper on alphaxiv.org to get a structured AI-generated overview. This is faster and more reliable than trying to read a raw PDF.
When to Use
- User shares an arxiv URL (e.g.
arxiv.org/abs/2401.12345) - User mentions a paper ID (e.g.
2401.12345) - User asks you to explain, summarize, or analyze a research paper
- User shares an alphaxiv URL (e.g.
alphaxiv.org/overview/2401.12345)
Workflow
Step 1: Extract the paper ID
Parse the paper ID from whatever the user provides:
| Input | Paper ID |
|---|---|
https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.12345 | 2401.12345 |
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.12345 | 2401.12345 |
https://alphaxiv.org/overview/2401.12345 | 2401.12345 |
2401.12345v2 | 2401.12345v2 |
2401.12345 | 2401.12345 |
Step 2: Fetch the machine-readable report
curl -s "https://alphaxiv.org/overview/{PAPER_ID}.md"
